"I have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then there is no hurt... only more love." Mother Theresa
"The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you; Don't go back to sleep. You must ask for what you really want; don't go back to sleep. People are going back and forth across the doorsill where the two worlds touch. The door is round and open. Don't go back to sleep.." ~Rumi
"Wisdom ceases to be wisdom when it becomes too proud to weep, too grave to laugh, and to self-ful to seek other than itself" ~ Kahlil Gibran

"A human being is a part of a whole, called by us 'universe', a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty." - Albert Einstein

THERE WILL COME A TIME WHEN YOU BELIEVE EVERYTHING IS FINISHED. THAT WILL BE THE BEGINNING.
--Louis L'Amour
All I have seen teaches me to trust the creator for all I have not seen. -Ralph Waldo Emerson
“What comes of itself, let it come. What goes of itself, let it go.” -Paramahansa Yogananda
"Remember there's a big difference between kneeling down and bending over." ~ Frank Zappa
"You gain strength, courage, and confidence
by every experience in which you stop to look
fear in the face" Eleanor Roosevelt
"It's time to break through the barriers of “comfort” and shine like there’s no tomorrow --and the point is to live with that possibility in mind, freely express who we are and shine, comfortably."
Anne Ransom
Write me an ocean
Full of light
And we'll float
Under golden waves
And over
Again
I can almost feel you
Breathing pure
Wading
And wishing
We could fly
Who I'd like to meet:
"The poet makes himself a seer by a long, prodigious, and rational disordering of all the senses. Every form of love, of suffering, of madness; he searches himself, he consumes all the poisons in him, and keeps only their quintessences"- ARTHUR RIMBAUD
"You see, in the final analysis, it is all between you and God; it was never between you and them anyway.."
-Mother Teresa of Calcutta
"Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it" Rumi
Thank you Anne. I'm always here tho. Drop me a line any time. Wishing you a delightful Christmas!
“There is an old saying in the United States of ‘Indian Giver.’ Native American peoples lived a nomadic life in the US through the mid-1800's and the Trail of Tears, after which they were imprisoned upon reservations by white settlers. Native Americans would often give a gift to a white settler, and if they saw that the settler had no use for it, they would take it back. Such Native Americans were then coined ‘Indian Givers,’ or one who takes back a gift for no apparent reason. However from the perspective of the Native American, there was a reason to take back the gift, as it was not appreciated or had no use to the receiver. In their tribal thinking and due to limited resources, one would only have that which one could use, and if something were not of use, then it would be given unto another that was in need. Such humans existed in balanced giving and receiving, and in so doing, only took from others or from earth what was needed to sustain the life dance, and received enough in like kind in exchange.” - Penguin Kingdom through Mila (www.crystalcreekproducts.com.au/newage/articles/ssoa/nature/Nature23.html)

After you've finished here, you may like to hear this folk-carol on myspace... Poem 230 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (see my blog for details): CHRISTMAS SUNG SIMPLY
As gospellers have said, Beneath signalling skies, On land dusty to tread, A trough in a stable Was the strawy first-bed Of a divine baby - The forgiving Godhead.
A season for new hope - There then and here now; The yuletide of goodwill - There then and here now.
In respect of this chance, Beneath bright or dark skies, Faith's the star that we glance Attending Christ's churches And trying to enhance, With singing and ritual, Our God-loving stance.

Long lay the world in sin ...and the Spirit felt its worth A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices He knows our need, our weakness is no stranger His law is love and his gospel is peace Chains shall he break.. And in his name all oppression shall cease
